摘要
The current approach to the estimation of shelf-life and the determination of the label shelf-life as detailed in the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines to industry is presented. The shortcomings of the status quo are explained and a possible solution is offered, which gives rise to a new definition of shelf-life. Several methods for calculating a label shelf-life are presented and investigated using a simulation study. Recommendations to adopt the new definition and to increase sample sizes are made.
